💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Describe your life after high school. (I had a span of time after high school which was unclear)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN and did a mock interview.
What impressed you positively?
The second interview was closed file, and I felt more relaxed with them. Even though I don't think all of the staff were as well intentioned as they seemed, these two surgeons seemed genuinely interested.
What impressed you negatively?
The first interviewer was an instructor. I believe his name was Edward, and he seemed very stand-offish. Also, I believe Edward was suggesting that my depression would negatively effect my studies. He mentioned it twice, and I had to explain it to him more than once. There are a total of two classrooms; one for each class. It didn't seem like I was at a school at all.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The students mostly don't go to class. Instead, they listen to a pod cast which has been synchronized with a power point presentation.
